So we nabbed Preston's main captain/midfielder for years, a team who finished 7th in the Championship last season.
Nice one board and Jolley    Should be at least a League One player by Preston fans assessments.

Great signing on paper. Ability and character by all accounts.

Obviously people will question his fitness/mobility/sharpness at 34, although strangely not seen any such comments on here yet. Not played a massive amount in the last 2 years and Preston fans comments seem to be based on previous years, so hope he's still got enough in the legs to have an impact.

I like the look of our midfield plenty of hardworking, run through walls, type players and I know Hessenthaler describes himself as a Box to Box type player, and is a Rose Box to Box type player as well?  oh and possibly Whitehouse.  Or they are all Box to Box type players    


I'm wondering if Jolley is thinking 4-2-3-1 as one of his formations, I guess we'll see during the friendlies.


4-2-3-1          McKeown
                            ?

RHJ        Collins        Davis         Fox
?          Whitmore         ?           Dixon

           Whitehouse     Welsh                                                          
           Hessenthaler   Rose                
           Clifton        Woolford

Wright                                  Hooper
Robles?                               Woolford?

                     Cook
                     Hooper
                     Robles
                     Cardwell
                     Rose?
                        ?


Or 3-5-2       McKeown
                          ?

         Collins   Davis   Whitmore
                          ?

RHJ                                                 Fox
?                                                     Dixon

     hitehouse Welsh  Hessenthaler
         Clifton  Woolford Rose

                
               Cook        Hooper
               Robles     Cardwell  
               Rose?          ?                    
                                                                                                                                                          You can tell I play Football Manager lol

Reading that PNE board, it looks like he hasn't played that much lately.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.

Quoted from Gaffer58
Although people may not want to agree I think not only Jolley for identifying the new signings but Fenty and the board need praising for agreeing to hand out 2 year deals, we've been so used to players being on only 1 year contract.


Why couldn't they do this years ago? Might not have been in such a mess if they had. So I won't be praising them for finally doing their job.

Like Collins, I suspect he's been signed as much for his off-field qualities as his playing ability. We certainly seem to be building a team of the right 'types' - the last four signinings in particular (Whitehouse, Cook, Hessenthaler and now Welsh) have all come highly commended for their work ethic and attitude, and none appear lacking in talent either.

All very promising; the only observation I'd make of our admittedly incomplete squad is that we appear to be lacking in height. Central midfield in particular is looking somewhat diminutive with Rose, Hessenthaler and Welsh all 5ft 9" or under. It gives you a good idea of where we intend to be playing the ball next season, but at the same time we need to be wary of a division often influenced by set pieces and ariel battles in the middle of the park.

My Preston mates rate him, but not sure about his fitness levels
Hopefully we went through all the necessary fitness and medical assessments

Funnily enough, I was hearing about what the typical medical consists of yesterday. Not much is all I'd say.
